fresh water skimmer
just curious: does a skimmer work in fresh water setups? i know in saltwater, it bubbles easier but cant you just raise the water level in freshwater and have it work?

Seems yes, in large scale FW systems, search for foam fractionator or foam fractionation.
For fish farms (note under features, different cone) http://www.praqua.com/products/foamfractionators.cfm Koi ponds http://www.pond-doctor.co.uk/longskimmers.htm

it can work but it is very hard to set up properly.
